Years ago, in Las Vegas, Nevada, I stood on stage at a quaint little theater experiencing the once in a lifetime opportunity of auditioning for Cirque du Soleil. It was shortly thereafter I realized my talent for presenting was meant to shine in a very different way.

Paired with my knowledge of adult learning theory, my leadership style, and a growth mindset I am inspired to collaborate with training and development professionals dedicated to delivering world-class learning experiences and optimizing learner performance. I have 16+ years of experience leading, motivating and educating teams within various Fortune 500 and privately held companies where I have had the opportunity to strengthen my technical abilities, expand my L&D knowledge base, and collaborate with inspiring thought leaders. With an exceptional collection of experience behind me, my goal is to continue working with organizations focused on professional and organizational development; while energizing learners by leveraging modern facilitation techniques and principles of positive psychology. I have always found leadership roles focused on training, development and performance optimization rewarding; and it is in such a role that I shine the brightest. Please feel free to connect with me for both career and networking opportunities. __________________________________________________________________________________ Specialties: Public speaking, sales enablement, training and development, technical writing, curriculum development, performance optimization, decision-making, consensus building and teaming, best practices and bench-marking, coaching, classroom teaching, e-learning, performance management, leadership development, and customer satisfaction.
